Upgrade Your Home For Autumn

Busy Lizzie @

Summer has officially come and gone, but there’s no need to be sad as Autumn has arrived! The weather is getting colder and the nights are getting darker, so that can only mean one thing. Cosy season is here!

As I get ready to makeover my home for the season, I thought I’d share my top tips for getting your living space ready for autumn and the products you need to create the perfect cosy atmosphere.

Switch up your doormats

First things first, you need to have a practical (yet stylish) doormat at your front and back doors. Autumn brings with it plenty of wet weather and no one likes their floors being trodden on with wet, muddy shoes - I certainly don’t! That’s why I always have a Hug Rug at my doors as they’re designed to trap 95% of all dirt, mud and moisture.

The good news is that we’ve launched brand new Hug Rug designs, just in time for autumn! If you’re an animal lover or like colourful, contemporary patterns then we definitely have a Hug Rug for you. 

Don’t forget to pair yours with an outdoor doormat to make sure you’re leaving the worst of the dirt at the door!

Roll out soft and cosy runner rugs

If you’re popping down a Hug Rug at your doors, then of course you need a matching runner! Not only do they look fabulous but they’ll add that extra bit of protection to your floors and help keep all the pesky dirt off them.

Our Hug Rug runners are made from recycled cotton fibres so they’re super soft underfoot and help to keep your feet warm on cold, tiled floors. So if you’re busy cooking in the kitchen or plodding along the hallway first thing in the morning, give your tootsies a treat by making sure your floors are protected with a runner rug

Pop down warm and inviting area rugs

If there’s one way to instantly transform a room into a cosy haven, it’s with a plush area rug. I’m incredibly excited about the launch of our brand new Sense Rugs as they’re perfect for adding warmth and comfort to your living space this season. I’ll definitely be popping one down in my living room!

They have all of the same qualities as our luxury Sense mats and runners - just bigger! What I love about these rugs is that they’re stain-resistant and machine washable at 30ºC so there’s no need to worry about spills and messes.

Get out the seasonal decorations 

Last but not least, it’s all about the finishing touches. I always love to put an autumnal wreath on my front door and place vases of seasonal flowers across the house to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. It makes such a difference! Of course, you can’t forget about filling the living room and bedrooms with soft, plush cushions and throws ready to snuggle up under on a chilly evening.

I’m already dreaming about curling up under a soft, thick throw with a steaming mug of tea, lighting my favourite scented candle and diving into a good book or watching a film with loved ones. Ooo I can’t wait!
